Drawing on detailed accounts and insider data relating to multinational interventions in select African countries, this book reveals a dramatic shift in the global order and gives a rare look at the inner workings of coercive diplomacy.

Rezensionen
'In The Power of Interdependence: Lessons from Africa, David Kuranga has provided a very positive contribution to the debate about the role of international organizations in democratic transitions. By comparing successful and unsuccessful democratization experiences in carefully-selected African case studies, Kuranga is able systematically to tease out the impact of the Economic Community of West Africa (ECOWAS) and to distinguish its role from that of Nigeria-the most powerful member state. The book is a very good, and very persuasive, scholarly contribution to an important debate in international relations and comparative politics.' - Robert R. Kaufman, Professor of Political Science, Rutgers University, USA
